Eudicot Nathaniel Angiospermae Dicot Dicotyledon Dilleniaceae Magnoliophyta

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the stunning beauty of Dillenia ornata, a rare and captivating flowering plant belonging to the Dilleniaceae family. Depicted in this Victorian-era drawing from the Plantae Asiaticae Rariores (1829-30) by Nathaniel Wallich, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, the plant is presented in all its splendor. Dillenia ornata, also known as the Yellow Dillenia, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it is characterized by two seed leaves (cotyledons) and belongs to the eudicot clade, which includes a large group of flowering plants. Wallich, a Danish botanist who served as the Superintendent of the Calcutta Botanic Garden from 1831 to 1854, meticulously documented this plant during his extensive travels in Asia. The illustration reveals the intricate details of the plant's flowers, which are yellow in color and feature a unique, fan-like structure. The plant's leaves are also depicted, showcasing their glossy, green surface and lobed edges. This illustration serves as a testament to the remarkable botanical discoveries made during the 19th century, a time when European explorers and naturalists embarked on extensive voyages to document and study the natural world. The intricate details captured in this drawing offer a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Asian continent and the dedication of naturalists like Nathaniel Wallich to documenting and preserving it for future generations.
